   Thank you very much for the offer. I truelly appreciate it. However at the moment I am not interested in selling movies from my blog as it is with non commercial nature and my free time is in some way limited.

   Yours,

   [...] Meme: Coming of Age movies July 5, 2007 at 12:12 am | In Movies,Reviews | I decided to join a group of bloggers and participate in the coming of age meme . The bloggers include Andy Horbal, Matt Riviera , Tram Ngo and Teresa .The whole idea started from the open thread – Best coming of age movies at the Zoom in Online blog. I saw that the Coming of age movie list at Wikipedia is already posted – but I would like to contribute with my own Ultimate coming of age movie list. [...]

    Got a question: What’s with “The Seventh Sense”? I don’t get the joke. Who’s face is that where Haley Joel Osment would normally be?

    BTW, cool list!

    The sevent sense is a different movie – I have it – but with very poor quality – haven`t watch it – you can try looking for it at emule.

    No problem

    This one should be in the list:
    Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, Ang(2005)
    aka: The Blossoming Of Maximo Oliveros
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479506/

    I would recommend adding “Mean Creek” to your list. It’s an excellent CoA movie about moral choices, consequences, and taking responsibility for one’s actions. [Though the story is completely different, tonally it almost feels like a cross between "Stand by Me" and "Deliverance".]

    Heya SamiH and Greg T,

    Thanks for your suggestions. I have included both titles in the post – also I got both movies for my collection – so I guess I will be watching them as soon as I can . In the meantime I would like to recommend to you another movie – Mickybo and Me – there is a review available – I saw it two days ago and its brill !

    Cool site. You should check out the Argentine film, VERONICO CRUZ, also sometimes titled LA DEUDA INTERNA, about the friendship between a schoolteacher and an orphaned boy in a small, desolate, Indian village. It is a beautiful, poetic film, though rather slow-moving, so you have to be in the mood for that kind of film. No nudity or gay content.

    More action-oriented is THE EMERALD FOREST, about an American boy kidnapped by Brazilian rainforest Indians and raised as one of their own. Great movie. Check out pics at http://www.richardandmimi.com/emeraldforest.html

    Hello Jungle Boy and thanks for you comments. I will try to find the movies you suggested and will write reviews after seeing them. Hopefully I will able to find English subtitles as well – as this seems to be the biggest hurdle for me. In the meantime both of the movies you suggested are already included in the list.

    Few years ago i saw an interesting movie,but i don’t know the name.The movie was about a little boy ,who was playing a role of prostitue,but that was not a gay movie.The boy used to stand on the road with a board that ‘i am available for rent’,only older girls took him with them .Now i can’t remember that was english or non english movie.Have you any idea what is the name of the movie?

    Thanks for you comment cool boy . Will try to come up with the type of movie you are looking for . Can`t think of none now.

    Among all the coming of age movies in the list, any movie is Malena or Halfaouine type? IFf it is not possible to disclose hear, you can mail me.

    Comment by cool boy — July 10, 2008 #

    You may want to check out Clement – a french movie similar to Malena. Its known these days – the only problem being that its in French and so far no subtitles are available. I appreciate your comments as we can discus whatever in here – just keep in mind that I try to maintain this blog with a PG rating ( there are readers below certain age …)- just use your common sense .

    this blog is great.among these coa movies,which movies only 18+ can see?

    Comment by chico — July 10, 2008 #
43. 

    Most coming of age movies are suitable for all ages. That`s the main idea in them to show how a person learns from a lived experience – coming of age as a term can be related to psychological development. Therefore I am not aware of a coa movie suitable for 18 + only – and if there is one I can assure you that it won`t be included in my list.

    Twee Vorstinnen En Een Vorst is also a coming of age movie. Not sure if it has made it to DVD yet or not.

    i am looking for the name to a movie about 3 or 4 young boys who are vacationing at the beach in the summer during the 60’s I believe. the main character falls in love with an older woman who;s husband is off at war. do you know the name of this movie and if so it definitely should be added to the list.

    Thanks!

    Hello shannon,

    I don`t know the answer of your question – but may be some of the reader of the blog would know it. I have also asked in the forum of skykid.org . To me the movie you described seems similar to Clement (which is a french movie – but am not that sure )

    Comment by skykid — October 4, 2008 #

    Hello, GREAT site, delighted i came by this.

    Basically i saw this film in 1994 or 1995 there or there abouts on a british tv station called BBC2 and Channel 4. but maybe you know of it.

    i dont know the name of the film nor the ppl who were in it.
    but this is the best way i can remember and describe it.
    also i believe there are two similar films, one in colour and one in black and white.

    basically there is this teenage kid with two woman i believe one to be his mother and one to be his aunt, and i remember them being on a train in one scene, then in another the boy is left with is aunt {i think} in a hotel and he sees her in the bath tub and she asks him to rub her with the soap next scene they are both asleep on the bed.
